Household Manager

Description: One binder for running your home, whether you're there or not. Keep the family calendar, chores, cleaning, bills and home repairs in one place, plus medical info, school details and a full babysitter section. A Mom's Away section hands off the week to whoever's in charge, and a Private section records where your important papers are kept (birth certificates, Social Security cards, passports, your will) along with safe and lockbox codes, accounts and the people to call. Espresso, blush and sage colors with hand-inked blooms. The inside pages are light, so they're easy on your printer ink.
